I have performed Frugal, Hard Drive, and LiveCD 'installs' and have never gotten Dillo to autostart.
Did you edit it out of your .xinitrc? It's definitely in mine -- I know it's on the CD and was on my desktop hard drive install til I edited it out (just did fresh install Saturday morning).
It is in my .xinitrc, I just checked. Whatever - I read it so it's just as well that I don't have to edit it out myself now.
I think that moving back to 2.4.31 would be fine if that allows you to save work roberts without much lost functionality.
